I saw train 529 southbound at 12:15 a.m. in Fraser with SD60F #5548! I like these "Cowl" units! This is my first time seeing one on a GTW Local train! Will they return to Pt. Huron "Long Hood Forward," or Wye the loco at Milwaukee Junction?

Cowl units can't lead LHF. So, they'll either pair it with a second unit or wye it MILW Jct.Robertrains wrote:I saw train 529 southbound at 12:15 a.m. in Fraser with SD60F #5548!

Re: CN Train Updates 7/14/13 - 7/20/13
Yes they can lead LHF. They are restricted to 25 MPH. 529 has been turning their power at Milwaukee Jct. and running LHF to Moterm. Cowls have led LHF plenty of times on 950 and 513 out of Pontiac.Evan wrote:Cowl units can't lead LHF.

I'd like to check that out! I haven't photographed them running that way yet! I know since there's no ditchlights on the rear—they are restricted to 25! They look cool with that "One Light!" I should go see that from Hilton Road soon! Would anyone know if plans are to keep using SD60Fs?

Was it really 12:15 am that 529 was by Fraser?
Re: CN Train Updates 7/14/13 - 7/20/13
No, 12:15pm. It generally arrives at Moterm in the early afternoon hours.milineamtrak wrote:Was it really 12:15 am that 529 was by Fraser?
